Chapter 861 - Guilt!
Li Ruo Nan bit her lips and clenched her fists tightly. Due to overexertion, her nails dug into her hands, but she didn't notice at all.
At this moment, her heart surged with guilt.
Right now, there was only one thought in her mind — she had injured Ji Feng!
When she thought of Ji Feng's gaze which was filled with disappointment and helplessness, Li Ruo Nan bit her lips even harder. She could almost imagine how sad he must have been when she stopped him and even said that she would arrest him.
Because from his disappointed eyes, it could be seen that before this, he should have always trusted her. Perhaps, he believed that she would definitely be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and not be too stubborn or impulsive, and understand her.
However, he didn't do so. Instead, he always thought that Ji Feng was acting on his own whim, and he even questioned him again and again. Perhaps it was exactly this kind of behavior that would wear down his trust in her over and over again.
Until now, Ji Feng had still trusted him. However, this last bit of trust had been personally destroyed by him.
Hence, Ji Feng's eyes revealed an expression of extreme disappointment.
Other than disappointment, there was also a trace of helplessness in Ji Feng's eyes. Thinking of this, Li Ruo Nan felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
… …. In the end, even when he had questioned Ji Feng, Ji Feng had treated him with tolerance. It was also for this reason that Ji Feng had been so helpless when he had tried to stop him.
Because he had always tolerated her!
Otherwise, with Ji Feng's status and the powers he possessed, how could he have been able to stop him? Why should he care about his own opinions?
All of this was because he respected and was more tolerant of himself.
However, because of his stubbornness and his prejudice against Ji Feng, he had personally destroyed everything!
Not only did she hurt his heart, she also made him feel extremely helpless. It was only because she didn't believe in him and didn't understand him … For some reason, Li Ruo Nan's heart suddenly ached. Especially when she thought of Ji Feng's expression at that moment. Because of her disbelief and stubbornness, she must have made Ji Feng feel very lonely, right?
Thinking about how Ji Feng didn't even look back when he left, that lonely back, Li Ruo Nan felt an unbearable pain in her heart.
She bit her lips, unable to utter a single word.
After a long while, Li Ruo Man slowly shifted her gaze. However, she coincidentally saw a cold smile on Bai Zhu's face. He was looking at her with hostility and disdain. She couldn't help but laugh bitterly in her heart. She had really done wrong!
"Now you understand?!"
Bai Zhu looked at Li Ruo Nan whose face was already slightly pale, and couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, especially thinking about how Li Ruo Nan used to treat Ji Feng, Bai Zhu felt even more relieved, "Young Master Ji has told you more than once that he doesn't even put Fan Jian in his eyes, and that he doesn't think of him as any sort of mortal enemy, but you just didn't believe it!"
Li Ruo Nan bit her lips, but couldn't say a word.
Bai Zhu laughed disdainfully, "You are the only one who treats that kind of monster as a treasure. But in our eyes, what does that hypocrite count as? Would Young Master Ji target him? How ridiculous! "
Bai Zhu, who had been by Ji Feng's side the entire time, naturally understood his thoughts. She knew that Ji Feng truly did not place Fan Jianyuan in his eyes, otherwise, why would he have delayed until now to capture Fan Jianyuan?
To put it bluntly, with Young Master Ji's current status and ident.i.ty, Fan Jianyuan was not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
Others might not be clear about it, but Bai Zhu clearly knew that Ji Feng's current status was partly because of his clan, but it was mostly because of his own hard work.
He had risked himself time and time again, even turning the tide. He had pulled the family, which had been under tremendous pressure from multiple attacks, out of the vortex. Just this point alone had earned him a lot of praise!
Even if Ji Feng was the second generation pillar of the family, it was not certain that he would be able to achieve such a feat. However, Ji Feng had done it beautifully, shocking countless people!
Then looking at Fan Jianyuan, what did he do?
Other than having a handsome face, he had nothing else. The only thing he had was the t.i.tle of "Returning to the Sea Elite". However, the reality was that this t.i.tle was quite ironic.
Returning to the Sea Elites?
It was obviously a monster from the Returning Sea!
"..."
Li Ruo Man opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, nor did she know how to refute, because although Bai Zhu's words didn't sound good, they were the truth.
She admitted that if you were to objectively compare Fan Jian Yuan with Ji Feng, then he really was nothing!
Perhaps it was because of this that she subconsciously believed that Ji Feng was bullying Fan Jianyuan, and therefore was more partial towards him. Moreover, even after discovering that Fan Jianyuan was not completely innocent, even when she was almost certain that Fan Jianyuan had doubts, she still tried her best to be tolerant.
But from the looks of it, what he had done was laughable!
"Humph!"
However, the more she spoke, the angrier she got. She couldn't help but sneer and say: "Captain Li, you don't need me to say anything. You should already know in your heart what Young Master Ji did to you and what you did to him. Now that you think about it, don't you feel guilty? "
"..."
Li Ruo Nan's complexion alternated between green and white, and there were even tears flowing from her eyes. However, she bit her lips tightly, and didn't say a word, allowing the tears to fall.
However, Bai Zhu was not a talkative person. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't stand Li Ruonian's att.i.tude towards Ji Feng, she wouldn't even have said these words to Li Ruo Nan.
However, she was truly angry, especially when she was by Ji Feng's side. Seeing Li Ruo Nan treating him like that, Bai Zhu couldn't help but want to argue with her a few times, but in the end, he held it back because she knew in Ji Feng's heart, there was actually a Li Ruo Nan. If she tried to argue with Li Ruo Nan, it would only make Ji Feng unhappy and make it difficult for him.
But now, she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she spoke all the words she had been holding back in her heart. Others might be afraid of Li Ruo Nan, but due to face or her ident.i.ty, Bai Zhu was not afraid!
"Yes, I admit that in the past, Young Master Ji did treat you a little coldly. This might have caused you to feel a bit unbalanced and angry in your heart, but you should never have done so. You shouldn't have even targeted Young Master Ji with the matter of that monster Fan Jianyuan!"
Bai Zhu could not help but shake his head, "Think about it carefully!"
In her heart, however, there was an uncontrollable guilt. She knew that what Bai Zhu said was very reasonable, and perhaps because of her actions, Ji Feng's heart could not help but feel despondent!
With that said, Bai Zhu no longer said anything. As for Li Ruo Nan, she lowered her head to look at the pocket-sized pistol in her hand. There was an extremely complex expression in her eyes.
After a moment, Li Ruo Nan suddenly took off her jacket and wrapped it around the pocket-sized pistol. A resolute expression flashed past her eyes.
"Tap, tap, tap …"
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Immediately, a few people appeared on top of the wall. The person in the lead was Yi Xing, and beside him were Liu Ze Jun and Guo Tao.
"Swoosh!"
The first one to jump down was Liu Ze Jun. He was good at surprise attacks, so he was usually the first one to take the lead. After jumping down, he was the first to be vigilant and scout around.
Yi Xingchen then jumped down with his men and walked up to the white pearl, saying: "Miss Bai, the boss has already told me. If you have anything to do, feel free to tell me!"
Bai Zhu said, "You're welcome, Manager Yi. Our people are injured. I just checked and I think he's already taken the special effect electric current. You should immediately get someone to send him to the hospital."
"Alright!"
Yi Xing nodded his head and replied without hesitation. Then, with a wave of his hand, someone jumped down from the wall with a whoosh and carried Qin Feiyu up on a simple stretcher. Then, they split into two groups, two of them carrying the stretcher while the others, with a tacit understanding of each other, set up a ladder so that the two people carrying the stretcher could climb up to the top of the wall.
Then, in the same way, they sent the stretcher down over the wall.
Although it was complicated, the whole process was as smooth as flowing water. It was completed in a short period of time.
During the entire process, not a single person spoke. All of their expressions were solemn and vigilant.
This scene caused Li Ruo Nan to be greatly shocked. If she hadn't seen Yi Xing and knew where they came from, Li Ruo Nan would have thought that they were a special forces with high training and combat skills. The coordination between these people was simply too tacit, their movements were too swift, it was simple!
After saving Qin Feiyu, Bai Zhu would go meet up with Ji Feng. Before leaving, she coldly looked at Li Ruonian and could not help but snort: "It's best if you continue to be stubborn, otherwise, you will regret it in the future!"
Li Ruo Nan was silent, but the emotions in her heart were complex and hard to understand.
… ….
Ji Feng did not throw Fan Jianyuan into the trunk. He would rather give up on such a convenient method. Instead, he chose to use a method that might attract attention. This was because Fan Jianyuan was too special!
From the moment he knew of the existence of the empire, Ji Feng had seen all kinds of reformers, but he had never seen anyone like Fan Jianyuan.
His skin was almost comparable to that of some martial arts masters. His fist was actually capable of breaking through the concrete wall, and there were no signs of improvement on his entire body. Ji Feng had to be on high alert.
This person could very likely be the most recently developed reformer in the dynasty!
